Opposed to the traditional distinction and incompatibility of both disciplines, in the freethinking and non-academic discourse increasingly grows the idea that philosophy and the arts can, instead, enrich each other or even merge. For 2016, Freigeist Verlag plans a first anthology on the subject: “Philosophie als Kunst. Philosophy as Art”, with numerous works of writers, philosophers, and artists who deal with the subject critically, poetically, or artistically, but in any case: free of any rules or guidelines.
